Youngatheart said… Hi KSGAL,
We all have to figure out who we are. It is a scary thing. We are all now work in progress. We are all different now. We will be amazed at what we can do and we need to feel proud of ourselves for what we can accomplish. I just know whatever I accomplish, I know my husband would be very proud of me. As hard as it is, we have to try to keep moving forward.
